Well, last night marked the completion of the video editing for the "A Handful of On The Other Hand" compilation DVD. The result is 60 minutes of fast-paced (often) funny material. There are only a couple complete-as-they-aired pieces included, as I focused on one-liners and the funniest bits from the funniest bits. This is probably the best cross-section of "On The Other Hand" material I could come up with, and I'm pretty happy with it. Some funny stuff was left out, and we could go around all day on what should be in there, but I'm, personally, just glad it's finished.
A glaring omission: Once 3 a.m. rolled around, I realized that I had forgot to include ANY footage from the Chef Lin buffet segment, which contains some pretty funny bits. I was already dumping the video to tape, and wanted to go to bed, so that's where I left it. Perhaps the Chef Lin stuff will appear on an expanded version. Maybe not. Frankly, I've been wanting to get SOMETHING out for so long that I almost just want to put the whole "On The Other Hand" monster to bed.
I will complete the "no extras, no frills, no menu" DVD master tomorrow, and am currently sketching out an insert for the DVD case. I plan to show the DVD Friday night to a group of four friends who've never seen the show. They were (lucky to be) out-of-town when it first aired.
I am planning a SMALL web site devoted to the show, including video clips and a link to order the DVD. If anybody wants to help with the site, lemme know...
